Vonn Bell - Two interceptions in victory Bell compiled four tackles while recording two interceptions and deflecting two passes in Thursday's 27-15 win over the Dolphins.

Impact Bell was able to intercept Tua Tagovailoa in the first quarter when he tried to take a deep shot to Tyreek Hill across the middle of the field. Bell later picked off Teddy Bridgewater when the quarterback attempted to target Mike Gesicki in the fourth. The two interceptions were Bell's first of the year and doubled his career total to four over his seven seasons in the league. The safety has now registered 21 tackles while recording two interceptions, three pass deflections and a forced fumble over the first four contests of the year. Bell will look to maintain his strong level of play when the Bengals take on the Ravens in Week 5.

Logan Wilson - Seven tackles in win Wilson made seven tackles (four solo) in Thursday's 27-15 victory over the Dolphins.

Impact Wilson once again played every defensive snap Thursday, registering seven tackles. The effort raises his season total to 26 tackles while he's also intercepted a pass and deflected two others over four games. The linebacker will attempt to keep up his strong play when the Bengals take on the Ravens on Sunday Night Football in Week 5.

Drew Sample - Placed on IR Sample (knee) was placed on injured reserve Monday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Impact As expected, Sample will likely miss the remainder of the season after suffering damage to his MCL and PCL in his right knee Sept. 18 versus the Cowboys. The 26-year-old has a chance to return in early December, though that seems unlikely. Mitchell Wilcox will replace Sample as the top reserve option behind Hayden Hurst at tight end for the time being.

Evan McPherson - Perfect in Thursday night win McPherson converted on both of his field-goal attempts and all three of his point-after tries during Cincinnati's 27-15 win versus Miami on Thursday.

Impact McPherson made a chip shot to take the lead with 12 minutes remaining in the game and then nailed a 57-yarder to extend that lead to five points with six minutes to play. He continues to generate returns in leagues that reward long field goals, as he's 6-for-7 on field-goal tries of 40-plus yards through four games this season after converting on 15 of 20 such tries in 2021. "McFrosty" remains one of the NFL's premier kickers heading into a Week 5 matchup at Baltimore, though it might be worthwhile for fantasy managers to keep an eye on the weather report ahead of that game.

Germaine Pratt - Team-high nine stops in win Pratt recorded nine tackles (six solo) during Thursday's 27-15 win over the Dolphins.

Impact Pratt missed the team's Week 3 win over the Jets and, despite logging two full practices, was still listed as questionable for Thursday night's matchup. The linebacker was eventually deemed available and logged a team-high nine stops while playing just 65 percent of the team's defensive snaps. Through three appearances, the 2019 third-round pick has totaled 22 stops and one pass defense.

Hayden Hurst - Finds end zone in win Hurst caught three of four targets for 27 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 27-15 win over the Dolphins.

Impact Hurst powered through multiple tackle attempts for a 19-yard gain on the game's third play but didn't see much involvement after that until Joe Burrow found the tight end for the game-sealing two-yard touchdown just after the two-minute warning in the fourth quarter. While Hurst has compiled a respectable 21 targets through four games with the Bengals, he has yet to reach 50 yards in a game while working as a secondary option in a passing game led by wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd.

Drew Sample - Headed to IR Head coach Zac Taylor said the Bengals will place Sample (knee) on injured reserve in the next couple of days, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Sample underwent surgery on his right knee following the team's Week 2 loss to the Cowboys. His return timetable is unclear, but it's possible he'll miss the entire campaign after initial tests revealed damage to his MCL and PCL, per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com. In Sample's absence, Mitchell Wilcox has stepped up as the Bengals' top backup tight end behind Hayden Hurst.

Tee Higgins - Ankle injury not major Higgins suffered an ankle injury during Thursday's win over the Dolphins but it isn't major, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Higgins will have 10 days to recover ahead of Cincinnati's contest against Baltimore in Week 5, which should boost his chances of not missing time. The third-year pro looked excellent versus Miami despite nicking up his ankle, securing seven of nine targets for 124 yards and a touchdown. The 23-year-old's injury briefly forced him out during the second half of Thursday Night Football, but he was able to retake the field.

Devin Asiasi - Injures left ankle Asiasi (ankle) was seen in a walking boot following Thursday's victory over the Dolphins, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Asiasi didn't return to the game Thursday after he went down with a left ankle injury, and his status is now in question heading into Week 5. More information on his status will likely be provided early next week. If Asiasi ends up missing any action, Mitchell Wilcox will likely operate as the lone reserve option behind Hayden Hurst at tight end.

Tyler Boyd - Versatile role in Week 4 win Boyd secured two of five targets for 47 yards and completed his only pass attempt for 23 yards in the Bengals' 27-15 win over the Dolphins on Thursday night.

Impact Boyd recorded a 43-yard reception that served as his second longest of the season and also made his mark on a trick play as a passer, hitting Ja'Marr Chase for a 23-yard gain down the right side of the field in the first half. The veteran slot man finished third behind fellow wideouts Tee Higgins and Chase in receptions, receiving yards and targets, which is likely to be the case more often than not as the season unfolds, with an occasional exception. Boyd should see some solid volume in what could be an all-hands-on-deck game for the Bengals' air attack a week from Sunday against the division-rival Ravens on the road.

Joe Mixon - Toughs out heavy workload Thursday Mixon rushed 24 times for 61 yards and a touchdown and brought in all four targets for 13 yards in the Bengals' 27-15 win over the Dolphins on Thursday night.

Impact As expected, Mixon couldn't find much room against a Dolphins team that had been stingy against the run and operating behind an offensive line that had struggled to open any lanes over the first three games. However, the veteran back toughed it out while handling his second-highest volume on the ground this season, and he salvaged his fantasy night with a five-yard touchdown run in the first quarter to open the scoring for the Bengals. Mixon also notched his second-highest reception total over the first four games, and he'll likely shoulder another heavy workload in a Week 5 road divisional showdown with the Ravens a week from Sunday.
